I like the idea and concept art...but how many times has Lara been redesigned now?

Breast cancer??

This sounds nothing like a Tomb Raider game. How can you have an open world Tomb Raiding game?

Open word, but its all cities in ruins.

Seems like the bigger blogs are picking it up also. Stuff seems somewhat believeable to me.

The character design sucks so it's probably true.

Have it take place amid a large area like the Valley of Kings or some such or a forgotten city.

I beg to differ going by what was shown.

Blueblur1 · (07-11-2009, 08:15 PM)

She looks like an actual human being for once. Awesome.

MirageDwarf · (07-11-2009, 08:15 PM)

What the fuck? Survival action/horror Tomb Raider. No Way!!!!

If this comes out true, I hope it bombs bigtime. This is like forcing Tomb Raider name and character in some random game.

Broadbandito · (07-11-2009, 08:16 PM)

looks CARAZYYY TAXIIIIIII

looks crazy

If you think about it, it might work out. Especially if they were thinking around RE4/5 lines.

Valkyr Junkie · (07-11-2009, 08:17 PM)

Is Laura being attacked from one of the monsters from Mutant Chronicles?

this.

Is Crystal Dynamics developing?

bloodforge · (07-11-2009, 08:19 PM)

Looks interesting, I'm fine with them taking it in a new direction. The franchise was in desperate need of a gameplay overhaul anyway. Survival action/horror seems like a good direction to take it in to me.

Vinterbird · (07-11-2009, 08:20 PM)

Yup, along with the series orignal creator. According to a job listing, they are seeing it as a AAA production.

sweetwasabi · (07-11-2009, 08:20 PM)

Don't they get why the latest game was horrible?!?!

They should just scrap combat altogether ( ok a little combat is ok, but just a little)
A sandbox? Horses? And what was wrong with Lara's design? She looked great in Underworld.

Know what, they should remake the old game with the new engine. Anniversary was amazing.

Dark Stalkers · (07-11-2009, 08:21 PM)

Witch!

IoCaster · (07-11-2009, 08:21 PM)

I doubt that this is true and if it is, no thanks.

Revelations · (07-11-2009, 08:23 PM)

It would be a shame if they failed again.

Thats good to hear, I really enjoyed the Legend/Anniversary/Underworld trilogy so this should be good.

If they reboot and fail, I would call it a day.

eh.. not enough info to give a judgment.

WTF is that? Why would they call it tomb Raider?

Xater · (07-11-2009, 08:31 PM)

Doesn't look like Tomb Raider but I don't care as long as CD makes game again that I want to play.

george_us · (07-11-2009, 08:31 PM)

Tomb Raider was fine the way it was, it just needed to be further refined. I'll still keep my eye out on this but those shots and the horror slant doesn't exactly fill me with hope.

Phantast2k · (07-11-2009, 08:31 PM)

I can confirm this. I took part in that survey regarding the new Tom Raider concept.
So it's 100% legit.

Tellaerin · (07-11-2009, 08:32 PM)

I wonder how many more games it'll take for Lara to shrink to an A cup.

Majora · (07-11-2009, 08:32 PM)

It sounds pretty decent to me, if true. The series is in pretty desperate need of a Resi 4 style reboot, it's become terribly predictable and has dropped off many people's radars completely. And no offence but a lot of people here are very inflexible when it comes to change within their favourite franchises, expecting the same thing over and over and then bitching when it turns stale.

Second · (07-11-2009, 08:34 PM)

Horror is ok.

batbeg · (07-11-2009, 08:35 PM)

Sounds very TR-ish (hahahahaha).

You didn't save the pictures, so we could get some none digital camera pictures?

Chris_C · (07-11-2009, 08:36 PM)

Lara looks sort of like Chloe Frazier now.

CHRP718 · (07-11-2009, 08:36 PM)

Add good combat mechanics/animations and I will buy it for my PS3.

Its quite obvious Lara is the one on the horse.

ShockingAlberto · (07-11-2009, 08:37 PM)

Something about her arm bothers me, but I can't quite place it.

I hope I won't be raped for it :(

Cow Mengde · (07-11-2009, 08:39 PM)

Horror is a horrible idea. That means more wandering in the dark looking through a flashlight. Now THAT give me a headaches, especially in FPS games. Oh well, I don't play Tomb Raider games anyway. Makes no difference what they turn the series into.

Fucking awesome, so this is done and confirmed then.

sweetwasabi · (07-11-2009, 08:41 PM)

Why would the bow string be across her chest?!?!

WrikaWrek · (07-11-2009, 08:42 PM)

Jump the shark.

100% true. Keep remaking the one Tomb raider people care about with different engines.

I'm getting sick of "But this time, Tomb Raider is going back to its roots!" only to find shitty driving stages, combat with techno music blasting in the background, and a whole bunch of shit that doesn't involve the exploration of deep cavernous ruins.

It's a shadow.
